Hey Guys
Well my finals are finally done, but I haven't gotten my grades back yet they should be in within the next week or so. I will defiantly let you know how I did.
Brucas03: I would love to bring them home but I'm not exactly sure if I am.
DanaJaycee: In my family we have a game to see who gets thrown into the pool. It's a tradition that is done at every party. I'm thinking about bringing Brucas home but I'm not sure yet we'll see. BTW loved your last chapter.
PaulineJ: I didn't mean to make it sad, just a thinking chapter. I will make sure it is fun.
Love,
Emily

Everyone arrived back at the schools, tired from the week that they had. While none of them really wanted to go back they knew it had to be done in order to be able to have a nice summer together.
"Peyt, you okay?" Asked Jake.
"Yeah, I was just thinking about Lucas and Haley's conversation." Said Peyton.
"I was thinking about that too, you know every time we have to say good-bye it gets harder." Said Jake as he handed Peyton a cup of coffee.
"I know, I don't know why but I thought it was supposed to get easier as time goes on." Said Peyton.
"I'm going to ask you something, but you have to promise you won't get mad."
"Okay." Said Peyton
"What would you say if we discussed moving back to North Carolina."
"I'd say when do we leave?" Asked Peyton.
"You're serious you would consider moving back?"
"In a heartbeat, I want Jenny to grow up being close to our parents, not just knowing them as the people we see on holidays." Said Peyton.
"I agree, I think we should go back I don't think Seattle is right for us, I mean Tree Hill is more home than here is, our family is there and everything." Said Jake.
"Jake honey you don't have to convince me, I think moving back is the best thing, not only for us but for Jenny too." Said Peyton.
"Okay, well we should talk to our parents and see what we can do."
"And you know we will probably save money, at the same time." Said Peyton.
"So you think Brooke and Lucas will move back?" Asked Jake.
"I don't know Luke seemed against it, but you never know he'll brood about it for a couple days until Brooke get sick of it and snaps him out of it, and then they'll make a decision." Said Peyton.
"True." Said Jake.
Brooke and Lucas arrived in Boston a little later, and unpacked since Brooke decided to start on the dresses that night after they went to Mario's on the Dads. While there they talked about everything that happened over the week and quickly talked about if they wanted to go home to Tree Hill.
"So I say we go to Mario's now before the crowd really gets bad." Said Lucas as he finished putting his clothes away.
"I think you are right, plus I want to get started on the dresses tonight a little." Said Brooke.
"You got it let's go." Said Lucas.
Brooke and Lucas arrived at Mario's and were greeted by Mario who was surprised to see them.
"Brooke, Lucas what are you doing here, we didn't expect to see you tonight." Said Mario.
"We decided to come here for dinner, we just got home from Tree Hill." Said Brooke.
"Well, I make sure that Kate make you some care packages, before you go."
"Mario, you know we don't just come here to get care packages we actually come here for a night out." Said Brooke.
"Nonsense, we are sending you home with a care package end of discussion young lady, so how are your parents doing?"
"They're doing good, the Dads are paying for dinner tonight, kind of our Easter present." Said Lucas.
"That's good, so what can I get you to drink?"
"I'll have a coke tonight." Said Brooke.
"Me, too. Thanks Mario." Said Lucas.
"Okay." Said Mario.
Mario went and got their sodas and brought them back to the table and the kids ordered their usuals.
"Mario, who is this order for?" Asked Kate looking at the slip.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you Lucas and Brooke are here, they just got home and wanted to get dinner."
"Did you tell them I'd make them a care package to take to school with them?" Asked Kate.
"Yes, I did. They said you didn't have to but I told them that you would any way no matter how much they protested." Said Mario.
"Your right I would." Said Kate with a smile.
"So you want to have the conversation we've been avoiding all day?" Asked Lucas.
"If you want to." Said Brooke seeing this as a sign that he really was thinking about it.
"Do you really want to go back and finish school there or stay here?"
"In all honesty I miss home I didn't realize it until this past week when we were there." Said Brooke.
"I agree, I think we should go home Brooke, I was thinking about what Haley said and I started asking my self 'what's really holding us here?' and the truth is I don't think any thing really is besides school, and they have colleges around Tree Hill and even in Tree Hill." Said Lucas.
"Let's enjoy dinner and then we'll call Keith and Karen and talk it over with them." Said Brooke.
"You got it, Cheery." Said Lucas as he kissed Brooke's cheek.
The young couple ate dinner and then left after being loaded down with bags full of food from Kate. When they got home they decided to hang out in Brooke's room since all of the stuff she needed for the dresses was in there.
"We should call home and talk to them." Said Brooke as she was cutting out a pattern that she had drawn, before they left Tree Hill on the floor.
"Okay, but before we do this are you absolutely sure this is what you want to do?" Said Lucas.
"Lucas, it's not a hard decision I mean besides Mike and his girlfriend and a couple other guys from the team we hang out alone together most of the time, and personally I miss having someone else to call you a pain in the ass to."
"Okay, then let's make the call. And I'm going to ignore the pain in the ass comment this once." Said Lucas.
"What ever you say." Said Brooke turning her attention back to the pattern.
"Hello?"
"Keith, it's Luke."
"Hey kid, you guys okay?" Asked Keith.
"Yeah, we're fine. Actually is Mom there too, we kind of need to talk to you both about something."
"What did you do?"
"Now why do you assume I did something."
"Lucas…"
"I didn't do anything ask Brooke she's sitting right in front of me cutting out a dress pattern." Said Lucas.
"Fine I believe you and your mom is right here, and you're on speaker."
"Hi Honey."
"Hi Mom." Said Lucas.
"What's up, Luke?"
"Brooke and I have talked it over and we want to come back down there for good after the semester." Said Lucas.
"Really?" Asked Karen.
"Are you mad?" Asked Lucas.
"No, I'm happy you want to come home, are you guys sure?"
"Positive, we want to come home Mom." Said Lucas.
"Good it's about time, you said that kid. What are you guys going to do about school?" Said Keith.
"Look around there for something I guess." Said Lucas.
"Well, I have an idea I got the Tree Hill Community booklet in the mail and if you want I'll look through it for you and see if it has your guys majors in it, as an option." Said Karen.
"That would be great Mom. Thank you." Said Lucas.
"I have one condition of you guys coming home." Said Keith.
"What's that?" Asked Lucas.
"You and Brooke will live here and on the weekends you will work at the garage and Brooke will help at the café."
"Hang on, let me tell Brooke." Said Lucas.
"Okay." Said Keith.
"Hey, we can go home on one condition."
"What?"
"We live at the house and work at the garage and café." Said Lucas.
"But I don't know anything about cars." Said Brooke.
"Uh Cheery I know hence the café for you." Said Lucas laughing at Brooke momentarily.
"Funny, tell them they have a deal." Said Brooke.
"Brooke says you have a deal. And just so you know she knows nothing about cars." Said Lucas laughing still at her comment.
"LUCAS!" Yelled Brooke.
"Okay, and Lucas we're glad you guys are coming home it's too quiet with out you guys around." Said Keith laughing at Brooke yelling at Lucas.
"Thanks Keith for everything." Said Lucas.
"No Problem kid." Said Keith.
"Talk soon?" Said Lucas.
"You got it, go get your ass kicked by your girlfriend now." Said Keith joking around.
"Thanks, bye Mom."
"Bye Sweetie." Said Karen.
"We are all set, you want to call Hales for me I really don't feel like it."
"Sure." Said Brooke.
"The kids are coming home." Said Keith.
"Is it wrong for me to be happy they want to come home for good?" Asked Karen.
"No, because I'm just as happy as you are. I get my best mechanic and you get one of your best waitresses back." Said Keith.
"You're right." Said Karen.
"Hello?"
"Hi Nate, what's up?"
"Not much Brooke, what's up with you guys?" Said Nathan.
"Nothing just cutting patterns for the gowns and Lucas is playing on the computer."
"Cool, so who did you want to talk to me or Hales?" Asked Nathan.
"Well as much as I love talking to you I actually called to talk to Haley." Said Brooke.
"Okay tell Luke I'll talk to him when you guys are done." Said Nathan.
"You got it. Luke, Nate wants to talk to you when me and Haley are done."
"Okay." Said Lucas.
"He said okay." Said Brooke to Nathan.
"Right, here's Hales."
"Hey Brooke what's up."
"Not much Tutor Girl, but I do have some news." Said Brooke.
"Good or Bad?"
"I don't know you decide how do you feel about me and Lucas not going back to Boston in September?"
"You guys are moving back for good!" Yelled Haley as Nathan looked up from his game.
"Yeah, we talked and realized we don't want to be away anymore." Said Brooke.
"Brooke, that's amazing. Where are you guys going to live?"
"At the house Luke's going to work at the garage and I'm going to work at the café and we're going to look into Tree Hill Community for now." Said Brooke.
"That's awesome. Ah, I'm so happy for you guys." Said Haley.
"Thanks."
"So other than that what's up?" Asked Haley.
"Nothing I'm just cutting patterns for the gowns out. And Lucas is playing Solitaire on the computer I think."
"It's not Solitaire it's Free Cell." Said Lucas.
"Sorry, Free Cell."
"So have you told Peyton, yet?"
"No, I'm calling her next." Said Brooke.
"Cool well why don't we let the boys talk, and I can talk to you tomorrow when they aren't around."
"Great, Luke Nate wants you." Said Brooke.
"Oh, Okay hey Nate."
"What's up?"
"Not much, Brooke and I decided to move back to Tree Hill for good, at the end of the semester."
"That's great, so are you guys going to be living at your place?"
"Yeah, and Mom and Keith are going to let us work at the garage and café on the weekends."
"It'll be good to have you guys close by again, at least in the same state." Said Nathan.
"I know, I think it'll be good for us. To be close to family and everything." Said Lucas.
"Yeah, so have you talked to Jake yet?"
"No, but I think Brooke is going to call Peyton next so I probably will, why need a message passed on?"
"No, I just didn't know if you talked with him yet." Said Nathan.
"Oh, so hey I just thought of something this will be the last time you have to get Brooke and I at the airport." Said Lucas.
"Hey that's right, you know I just might stop there on the way home for nostalgia anyways."
"You do that and I will sit home calling you insane." Said Lucas
"Well at least we don't have to find you and Brooke making out in the airport chairs." Said Nathan.
"No, you'll just find us making out at home." Said Lucas jokingly.
"That's true." Said Nathan.
"Okay, well I'm going to get going so Brooke can call Peyton and I can go to sleep soon." Said Lucas.
"You got it man, I'll talk to you tomorrow." Said Nathan.
"Okay, bye." Said Lucas.
"Bye." Said Nathan as he hung up the phone with Lucas.
Brooke and Lucas decided it was too late to call Peyton and Jake so they decided to call them tomorrow and Brooke made sure that Lucas kept his promise from earlier and the celebrated going home.
Nathan and Haley were excited that their friends finally made the decision to come home. They settled in and watched a movie and fell asleep half way through it on the couch.
